i have searched on the Image types supported by Android everywhere.

Actually, my confusion is which are image types supported by Android (i.e. JPEG, gif, or other) , because just now i have done camera capturing code with JPEG, but when i go and open the Albums from my HTC Hero, then i cant view photos and images which i have captured. so should i not captured photos with extension as .jpeg??

The error shown in Alert box are: "The application Albums(process.com.htc.album) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
